It all started in 2011 - we decided to ride Lands End to John O Groats, since then we've completed a number of 'challenges' raising over £15,000 for various charities.
You can read about our adventures here, and also our on-going efforts to keep on cycling!

The way to go......

When it comes to it, this would be the ideal send off.....

Although this novel idea has been popular among cycling enthusiasts
and the environmentally friendly, Rev Sinclair and his wife Marian are
just not up to long bike rides anymore and have struggled to find locals
willing to take up their job.

'We're simply not fit enough to ride it,' he said.

'It's seen some lovely funerals but we're always wrecked afterwards.
'We beg people who book it not to go too far - we even have to ask if the cemetery is at the top or bottom of a hill.'

The tandem was developed by a sidecar racing engineer and cost £2,250 to build, according to reports. It is being sold as a going concern and the reverend is inviting offers in excess of its cost price.
The
tandem hearse will go on view as part of the Return to Sender display
at the Christian Resources Exhibition in Exeter, Devon.
